ConCen

schtick it in yo pipe´ and schmoke it Mr.Hedge.

I brought it here as you ultimated. Witness in aghast my last few hours of moderator skill set in effect and shadupayatrap oh cynical fruit

you are not so much a good ole boy as yearly approaching closer to the accolade of sour old man

God bless the reactionary conservatives!!

---

I am doing this in fun, Nick: I have no grudge with you - you are part of the present infamous tapestry. You may not like it but you are notorious like an Arizonian white zorro cutting through the jungle of your own bitter experience for us all to benefit from. I salute you!

---

Classic love it... want it as a ring tone lol any links would be appreciated i don't normally use ring tones but i'd use this for sear laugh ability.

{disclaimer} not supporting it against my comparde Hedge though you keep posting man!

Oh, sorry nik, I didn't see you skulking around there.

Like I said, I have life experience and age and I see things that are coming down the pike. You may hang out here because it is a place to hang out but it's not the same for some others of us. There are some of us who take what the world calls "conspiracy theory" seriously. We see it for what "we believe it is". My question to the majority of the people here is: "How many times must we see these things happen over and over and over again before we catch the snaps?" Things are so far gone here in this country that it is going to fail and the people have brought it about. It's that simple. I'm not perpetuating it, I work everyday, pay my bills and taxes everyday, follow the law (such as it is) everyday. Where are you getting off calling me "bitter"? Bitter about what? I see something, call it for what it is and that's the long and short of it. And this is bitter how?

What I find interesting in all this is that people like you nik, sit back with their noses in books, talking down to everyone here, using whomever you fancy as a cheap form of entertainment because you yourself have had no life to speak of. That in itself is quite sad.

You remind me of the stuffy old Brit who looks down their nose at everyone around them because they haven't read this book or that, been to this school or that, have this family name or that, when all you are is a self proclaimed snob. You have nothing to contribute. I read your posts, you bring nothing of experience to anything. You pass out your snide little remarks and do so to cut people down for what you perceive to be their stupidity. When you are the one who is stupid. I have yet to read anything by you that even SOUNDS LIKE experience. But if I want to find a scathing insult by you I have plenty to choose from.

Yes, I am cynical. I will be the first one to say that. It has come with living and seeing and EXPERIENCING ALOT. It is easy for people like yourself to sit back and criticize others (at your leisure) and make it all entertainment when in fact it is totally useless. You bring nothing of any value to the table nik. Nothing.

People may see me as a smartass and as being critical. Yes I am both. But I can base the majority, if not the entirety of what I am saying on personal experience. Why is this a negative? Why is it that there are those in here who can say whatever they want to whomever they want and they are hailed as geniuses? I see something, I experience something, I KNOW something and I am told I'm BITTER? What is that?

You are in fact bullshit nik. I don't need you to tell me who I am as a person. I don't need you following me around on the board and always chiming in like a rude child to say something that has absolutely no value. I see nothing of yours that can be considered as "VALUABLE" to anyone.

Put up your funny little videos and make your snide, stuck up remarks if that makes you happy and fulfills your days. I don't care. I don't live vicariously through books and my own empty personal opinions. I live a life. If it ended for me tomorrow I have no regrets. I did the best that I could. Can you say that? Well, of course you can since you see yourself as the only real person of value on the forum. That in itself is a sad thing. I can name a number of people here that I have respect for and see as better than myself. You, sadly aren't one of them.

And, oh by the way, this isn't personal. I don't have any issues with you. Just wanted to point out some minor annoyances about you as a human being.

I'm surprised mr hedge.

Inheritor,

This is the forum for this. This is the place to say things that cannot or should not be said in the open forum. This "room" was (I would think) designed for this exact thing. I asked nik in here so that we could say what we really thought and felt.

Too many things get "insinuated" on this board that never get clarified or dealt with in the proper way. nik is a big boy, he can handle it. Once these grievances are aired then we can get back to business and this can stand as an example of the benefit of this room.

I don't hate nik. But I didn't cut him any slack either. However, I do consider him to be a very smug individual who doesn't contribute much of relevance. I am entitled to my point of view. I didn't curse him, I didn't threaten him. I just plainly stated what my opinion of him is. Where is the wrong in that? Is that flaming? If you say that it is.....then did I not encourage it to be handled in the proper area?

The shame seems to fall on me, but nik is (like I stated above) given a pass for all that he says. He is considered an authority on my country and he doesn't live here. He is considered an authority on the way things are done in this country, yet he doesn't live here. He considers himself an authority on life, yet he hasn't lived one. He reads books. That is where he is getting his information from. And I'm wrong for pointing this out? I'm wrong for calling him on something that others think but won't say out loud?

I am going to defend myself to a certain point. When I have felt that I have defended myself adequately (to satisfy ME) then I will move on. Like now. I have said what I wanted to say about this matter and with this post I will leave it alone.

Judge me if you want to for being honest but I followed the rules, plus some. If nik's feelings are hurt then he needs to go lick his wounds and grow a pair. Grow up, get his nose out of his books and GO LIVE A LIFE.

Shame on me indeed.

nik doesnt need me to to stick up for him, but you're whole post is so full of shit, if I tried to address all the bullshit Id be at this all damn day, and frankly that wouldnt be worth my time so ill be brief and let the two of you go at it if thats what you wanted.
nik has contributed 10000 times more than you have on this forum. period. Who the fuck do you think you are to say whats valuable or not?
I think some of your posts are worthless regurgitations of right wing propaganda, but I still wouldnt classify that as something devoid of value. Discussing, disputing with someone and/or disagreeing on a topic considered to be worthless can still be valuable to someone else. Quit it with all the self-importance. You're not any better than anyone else here.

not sure i agree, hedge is better then some here... and how do we measure truths... not in number of posts? but in greater understanding. some here just post recycled garbage, and/ or like hedge said claim to be an expert of facts on near every thing, no one can know all i was once told. and it's true, i'm great when it comes to "old" stuff, but can i name all the banker fams and how there connected no. but some here can. We all bring different things to the table and some of what some brings is not relevant to the struggle it is just out there to keep us distracted. and common sense is not easily put before ideals on this board as per the cops NEED to be camera'ed all day every day to END abuses but i think most remember how much folks disagreed with me re that...
yet wheres the harm....?

no hedge like me is not part of the chorus and for that i salute him we have enough followers in the world and folks who regurgitate propaganda tripe that some post need to be called out on it so that newbies don't swallow it up hook line and sinker!

Rock on!

Agree with what exactly? With my opinion of NH? As far as I can tell I didnt really give much of one. I was just being critical of his attitude towards another poster that is just as legitimate as anyone else here contributing to Concen and its evolution. I never said NH wasnt better than some othe posters here, but I try hard not to "rate" people whether or not I think they are better than others. I will say how I feel whenever I feel like saying it, and as I have to deal with anyones response to what I post, so does anyone else in regards to their opinons.

(07-15-2010 06:43 PM)Deathanyl Wrote: [ -> ]and how do we measure truths... not in number of posts? but in greater understanding.

Who said anything about "measuring truths"? And since when did that become the job of posters to pass judgement on people's personal character because of their post content? Analyzing information and attempting to verify it is one thing. But thats not what Im talking about.

I guess I just dont see the same thing you do.

First, I must say that is great to see a little fire in the forum, but there is no need for people to get all huffy-puffy about some text on a screen.

Hedge, your torrents are worthless, the disinformation that they contain can be enjoyed by simply turning on a television any time of day and give the appearance that the magical world of "terrorists waiting at gate, variable rate mortgage loans causing the depression, and immigrants doing the jobs that Americans will not do" might actually have some semblance of credibility. Your threads regurgitate the action-points sent by the U.S. government to the corporate media. Worst of all, despite being a part of ConCen for many years, you still seem to be very dense in the respect of not admitting that the elected officials have no power and do not make decisions without the all-clear given by the rich families that control America.

I grew up in Texas and used to be a Ditto-head, I still listen to Rush Limbaugh once in a while to see which particular of propaganda I should not believe. It is exactly because of Americans like you, that I could not wake up and whose behavior caused me to some irresponsible things, that I threw in the towel and left for Europe.

nik is one of the best people that I have ever virtually met, as soon as I have enough fiat currency, I hope to visit him. He has absolutely no fear in confronting anyone and I am pretty sure that he would speak to you by way of Skype. He is not one of the earliest members of ConCen, but he truly does epitomize what ConCen represents: joyfulness, inquisitiveness, fortitude, and honor.

no i found the vid funny... i just felt i should pipe up for the caveman as you seem to always silva for nik or anyone else in the left-isphere... not that i seee that as a bad thing (staying swiss) but is nik not a big boy can he not defend himself?... i don't know guess i just find a lot of commodedery and reach around-ing on here rather then real debate, or real posting, i mean the admins r good posting research papers and news stuff, but there sure is a lot of pundits here not saying thats bad either, just part of what i do like is the different perspective of some, call it entertainment (i don't watch much tv outside of comedy central and propaganda networks like cnn.

and as matter of record nik is in a very high percentage of his posts recycling other articles he picks up, i understand i doubt the eastern block media gives much in the way of local news, but the internet is just as censored so trolling (not intended in troll context) for stories of interest, is a very limited and skewed source. i have to side with hedge and others on here Books pre 1980's r best.

As 4 joe no i know why you left it is a hard sell to most american's to WAKE the F up!!! so enthralled in the spell they are, but Europe is a very unsafe place when shit hits the fan... i'd have remained (as i have) and just stopped trying to save 'em an ignore them being peaceful knowing your going to be one of the survivors, (if your post indicate your character)

And i hope i am under the proper understanding that this is the forum where we can be frank and not get banned no?

Guess what joeblow - I don't post my torrents for you. Did you know that? I post them for those who want them and the last time I checked it seemed there are quite a few people who do want them. So who cares what you think?

I've been to Texas, San Antonio as a matter of fact for school. I know the state well and the mentality that resides therein. So you gave up on your country and high tailed it to Europe. Yeah, that's loyalty to the country. Why listen to Rush? You ought to know by now what is propaganda and what isn't. Haven't you been paying attention all this time? Don't you know by now who the players are? Obviously not or you wouldn't still be wandering around in a fog. Stay in Europe please.

The last time I checked there were THOUSANDS of members on this board. And as far as I know each one of those members have an opinion. But I am having a hard time locating joeblow's rules of what opinions are allowed on this board. Can you tell me where you have your rules as to the RIGHT and WRONG opinions to have? Am I supposed to agree with you so I can be blessed by you? Is that how it works? Who are you? You are no better than the other members. If I have a personal problem with nik I HAVE THE RIGHT to bring it in here WHERE IT BELONGS and deal with it here. That is what this forum is for. Did you know that? Or did you just stumble in here?

Don't tell me how to think and what to say. You mind your own house and I'll mind mine. nik doesn't need anyone to defend him. Let him defend himself, like all the rest of us have to do. He's not special. He's just like all the rest of us. He has his opinions. I'm not criticizing his opinions, I'm criticizing the FACT that he is trying to put over that everything he reads he is passing off as legitimate experience. It isn't. He talked to a Union member in Canada, big deal. I worked around Unions day in and day out. I know more about Unions IN THIS COUNTRY than he does. I can speak from experience. He talked to one once. I talk to alot of Canadians, but that doesn't make me an expert on Canadians. Maybe what I should do is read a book on Canada and then I can be an expert too.

I hate suck ups. People tripping over mods and admins being yes men and parroting whatever the mod or admin say to try and curry favor. It's lame and stupid.

If I want to have an opinion about anything, I can have it. As long as I follow the rules and adhere to the protocol of the board there is not one thing anyone can do about it. Unless of course a secret committee forms and meets to get me banned because someone doesn't like something I said. If that is the case then none of you can complain about what is going on in the US. Alot of the more active members on this board support Communism, Socialism, Marxism (whatever you want to call it). But very few are in support of freedom. If they were they would be PRACTICING it on the board (which they don't). It is dangerous business on this board to voice an opinion that does not fall in line with the popular opinion. We see a perfect example of it right here on this thread.

What a freak show.

Make mine the seat furthest away, yes thats it up there on the balcony
hmm I cant seem to see whats going on but thats okay as I dont like theatre much anyways

Hedge,
Just like fatuous gassbags you upload to the tracker and the neo-con sympathizers you tend to post about here, you're wrong about everything you've said

Your bashing on Nik for reading is pretty ignorant, but not surprising considering the fact that your role models are ravenously anti-intellectual. I've read posts where Nik explains a portion of his life experience which is both interesting and extensive, and when you couple that with his far-above-average intelligence, it makes his posts among the most enlightening here.

The opposite is true of the detractions posted by you and 'nyl in this thread. It shows that even when you two combine forces, you're still only about as sharp as a bowling ball wrapped in a wet diaper.

Is it possible that his posts aren't condescending, but just over your head?

Okay, my reply is a little late but I was just busy reading a couple of books in my little sterilised cubicle set aside from life experience.you know how it is.

I couldn't really say, as i don't know much about you or your life or any of the many many experiences you keep telling everyone you have had.

It would be very very stupid of me to presume to think I know anything about you or where you have been or what you have experienced.

No, he doesn't need defending, but some of us feel like you're a dumb ass, and by asking for him to speak with you in defense of himself in this particular sub-forum, you're asking for reciprocation... you're typically full of shit, Nick, and believe it or not, studying books that back your claim would make us think that you're not just a solitary schizophrenic or brainwashed dittohead...

when you posit your theories with nothing other than your own "experience," or more often, your seemingly ignorant opinion to back them, you will not engender a lot of support from people who tend to take research seriously. most of us do. It's not a matter of bowing to the mods and admins, it's about accepting the incontrovertible truth as fact. When there's a question, it's discussed, and facts are checked, but most of your prophecy has yet to be proven. Chances are, its because you're dull. Get over it.

Bash on me - Nik doesn't deserve it, as he usually has a hell of a lot more to back his theories than I do.
